It’s Watermelon Time!!! Did you know July is celebrated as National Watermelon Month?
And because it is full of water;the fruit is called a WATERmelon.
About 91.5 percent of the entire food is water thus why it is probably one of the most popular foods during summer.
Every part of a watermelon is edible, even the seeds and rinds.so if you get a few seeds in the mixture,..no problem.
Ingredients
- 4 cups watermelon puree
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup chopped strawberries
- 2 chopped kiwi fruit (optional)
- 2 peaches diced small
- Handful of fresh cherries, pitted and chopped (optional)
Directions
Step 1
After seeding the melon, puree the 4 cups of watermelon pulp in a blender . This will turn into juice; you are not looking to keep the pulp. You could actually use your hands and push the melon through a fine sieve/colander with small holes.Set aside.
Step 2
Combine in a bowl the chopped strawberries,peach,kiwi fruit,and berries if using. If you like your fruit a little sweeter, you could add sugar or Splenda to taste.
Step 3
Fill each cup with the chopped fresh fruit.
Step 4
Pour in the watermelon puree until each mold is full to the top.
Step 5
Place a Popsicle stick into each one of the cups.
Step 6
Place in your freezer on a cookie sheet or muffin pan and freeze 6 to 8 hours.
